About the Auto Light Switch
Turning on the auto light switch causes illumination to turn on whenever you position
your wrist as described below in any mode. Note that this watch features a "Full Auto
Light," so the auto light switch operates only when available light is below a certain
level. It does not illuminate the digital display areas under bright light.
Moving the watch to a position that is parallel to the ground and then tilting it
towards you more than 40 degrees causes illumination to turn on.
• Wear the watch on the outside of your wrist.

Warning!
• Always make sure you are in a safe place whenever you are reading the watch
using the auto light switch. Be especially careful when running or engaged in
any other activity that can result in accident or injury. Also take care that
sudden illumination by the auto light switch does not surprise or distract
others around you.
• When you are wearing the watch, make sure that its auto light switch is turned
off before riding on a bicycle, or operating a motorcycle or any other motor
vehicle. Sudden and unintended operation of the auto light switch can create a
distraction, which can result in a traffic accident and serious personal injury.
